When Pegasus had gone into the casino for a game of cards, he hadn't expected to be thrown out. He certainly hadn't expected them to throw him out by holding onto his shirt collar. Perhaps something more accurate than him not expecting to be thrown out was the fact he didn't expect them to catch on that he was cheating. Pegasus had a different way of playing cards. Card games were about a mixture of skill and luck. He liked to up the skill in such a way that many people THOUGHT it was pure luck. Occasionally though, someone would catch onto what he was doing. Instead of being upset with them for catching his trick, it was always more like a 'bravo you outsmarted me'. Pegasus had grown bored with cards played normally quite a long time ago, and so he enjoyed adding an extra element. At the point, there were a few casinos in the red light district of Dagos who knew him. However, there were a couple that had unwritten rules that if they caught you, you were thrown out. But you were only thrown out for that particular time. You weren't banned for it because the house cheated as well. Pegasus was a repeat customer, and a fairly often repeat customer.
[break][break]
All that said, he was now sitting on the steps outside the casino, realizing that he didn't know what to do. He'd planned to spend the evening pleasantly with a game of cards. However, they had caught on in just the second round. That was much earlier than happened regularly. Pegasus reflected that perhaps he was losing his touch. He took a flask from his black suit jacket's inside pocket, unscrewing the lid before taking a swig. He grinned, letting out a sigh. He took one more swig before tucking it back away and giving a relaxed sigh. He supposed there was plenty of things to occupy him in the red light district besides this particular casino. As he sat there though, he watched the people passing by. Some of them ducked their heads or slumped their shoulders. Pegasus became curious as to why, but reflected that it could be because they were lacking self confidence. Or they were magi trying to blend in and hide their traits. He hated that magi had to do that. He was proud of his traits. He had freaking dragon traits though. He supposed if someone popped out with ears like a playboy bunny they might be less than pleased. Or a nose like a pug. That would definitely suck. He briefly wondered if anyone had popped out of their mother with a croc tail and how uncomfortable that birth might've been. Then he went back to people watching.

Damien stalked down the street, on his way home from a botched drop-off. His mood was sour, evidenced in the the clench of his jaw and the way that his fingers twitched and flexed at his side. Noticing, he shoved them in the pockets of his coat and growled. He'd been planning to meet a buyer, some middle class stooge angling for some uppers, but the guy had never showed. Now, Damien was left with the drugs and a need to explain to his boss exactly what had happened. Fuck. He should have known the guy was untrustworthy when he had asked to meet in the red light district. The red light district was where the drugs were. You didn't need to order any from outside of it.
Stupid. Stupid stupid stupid.
He passed by one of the casinos just in time to see a guard literally throw someone out by their shirt collar. It was enough to get Damien to pause and raise his eyebrows. He'd thought that they only did that shit in the movies. The dude didn't seem to upset by it, simply sitting down on the steps like he owned the place and he'd asked one of his employees to escort him outside for some air. Damien snorted.
Damien had the crazy thought to walk over and ask if he was buying. On the tail end of that thought, another one popped in his head, asking if he felt like getting stabbed tonight. The guy was wearing an eyepatch. The only people who wore those when cybernetic eyes existed were the very poor (unlikely) or the ones trying to project something (more likely).
He caught the hipster comment and snorted again, "Do you want someone to answer or you just love the sound of your own voice that much?" |

Pegasus spotted the guy as soon as he snorted the first time. When you were people watching, someone commenting on what you were doing was a little odd to feel. Like, you're watching people and then they're watching you back. Although Pegasus didn't fault them for staring. Oh no, he could perfectly understand that. He was a little puzzled by the snort of laughter but hey if he brightened someone's day up he didn't really care how he did it. Then the guy snorted again at the hipster comment and Pegasus smirked. He heard the question too and mischief and humour danced in his one visible eye. He'd worn special contacts today to give him a normal pupil in the golden eyes. Otherwise people would be able to tell he was a magi just from looking at the irregular pupil. They might even mistake him for a cat magi with the 'cat's eye' but that wasn't what he was. He'd been called cat related names because of it before. Those thugs had quickly discovered they were messing with a dragon instead. Pegasus couldn't say he didn't find the fights that resulted pleasant, but he hid the eye to cut down on the number of fights. And wearing an eyepatch was practical. After all, he would only have to keep a contact in one eye instead of two! But the guy had asked if he really liked the sound of his own voice that much.
[break][break]
"Either. Both. Someone can answer if they're so inclined. And yes, actually I do like the sound of my voice. Why wouldn't I? It's quite pleasant. Also Mr Cynic, the statement got your attention didn't it? If you would like to shoot the breeze there's plenty of steps here. Not like many people are going to be heading into the casino right now. Anyone who's spending the evening playing the games is likely already inside the establishment. We could witness some stragglers of course I suppose." He tapped his chin slightly with the index finger of one of his gloved hands with a smile. It was friendly, with a hint of cunning. Meeting people for the first time was always sort of fascinating for Pegasus. There was a lot you could learn about and from body language in a first time meeting. Whether people were nervous or not, whether they lied to impress. You could get a fair amount of information from the exchange.

Damien stared dumbly, "You talk a lot."
Then, he wrinkled his nose. He sounded like Iriel, now. He'd just been caught off guard by the guy's motor mouth. It was like watching an android. Damien paused, giving the guy - Pegasus - a once over. No, probably not an android. Besides, who would make a robot with one eye?
"I'm Cyrus," he offered, shrugging. A lie, but one that he fell into easily and with familiarity. It was the name that he gave to his buyers and the name that he gave to people that he didn't know anything about yet. It felt dirty, having his personal information in others' hands.
He drew a deep breath in, considering, feeling it knock around his fake lung. Well. He didn't really have anything going on at the moment and he wasn't keen on heading back home and contacting his boss just yet. He could shoot the shit, he guessed.
"Sure, fuck it," He took his hands out of his pockets and rubbed the back of his neck with one. He sat down on the steps, leaving a good distance between himself and Pegasus, straightening his cybernetic legs out in front of him. "What do you do, just stare at people like a damn serial killer?" |

Pegasus laughed as he heard the guy speak about how he talked a lot. Pegasus couldn't exactly say the guy was wrong. Growing up, his adoptive father Avani had said pretty much the same thing. He was extra energetic, and extra talkative. Sometimes he was able to carry on a one way conversation with himself. Only when not in public though. He wasn't really into the whole 'looking absolutely crazy' vibe. Just individual sentences. That was fairly normal after all. The guy replied with a name of his own and Pegasus shot the guy an easygoing grin. Pegasus was relaxed. Yes, he was in Ethea. But he had learned long ago that letting everything get to him was a recipe for disaster. Paranoia was no state to live in. The water magi heard the guy agree to talk and Pegasus stretched his shoulders, taking a small bag from one of his suit jacket pockets. A bag of pretzel sticks. They were more addictive than anyone gave them credit, he knew. You'd think growing up on the sea would make you hate anything that was preserved with salt, but it was the opposite for him. Sometimes he craved something salty, it was as simple as that. He offered the pretzel sticks to the cyborg beside him. It didn't really matter if the guy took them or not. He supposed he was a stranger offering food and most people wouldn't accept that anyways. He heard the serial killer comment and laughed.
[break][break]
"Not a serial killer! I'm people watching. There's so much to glean from the body language of others. I like to play a game where I come up with stories for where they're going, or what they're thinking. Guess it's a kid's game but I wasn't always in a place where I could people watch this many people. It's fascinating to me. And there's so many emotions that people wear on their sleeves in the red light district. Lust, pride, greed. You can see them all, mostly at a glance." Pegasus liked to make inferences about what people were going to do with their lives or even just their individual days.
[break][break]
"What about you? Just skulking around the red light district like a thief?" He grinned, joking back. The guy had made a serial killer joke. A thief joke was fair turnabout really.

Damien revised his conclusion. The guy wasn't a serial killer. He was a stoner. Or a philosopher. Or both. A kid from Damien's street had gotten out, gone to a fancy school, and come back spouting nonsense about the beauty of the human condition. He reminded Damien a lot of this guy. The same weirdass opinions.
"I dunno," he sighed, snatching a pretzel stick and letting it sit on his lips like a cigarette. "Most people are garbage, anyway. Dunno what's so interesting about watching that." He put his arms over his head and stretched, hearing his back pop.
He watched a couple stagger out of the casino, obviously drunk. One was a large man, and in Damien's opinion, way too ugly for the slim and pretty man at his side. Damien removed the pretzel stick from his mouth and gestured toward the couple with it. "That fascinating to you?"
"Yeah, I'm a master thief. I was gonna rob this casino until you showed up," Damien deadpans, biting the pretzel in half and chewing slowly. "What do you think a guy could be doing in this district?" |

When Cyrus grabbed one of the pretzel sticks Pegasus couldn't help but be a little impressed at the fact the guy was carefree. Then again, Pegasus HAD eaten them himself. He supposed that was enough to tell people there was nothing on them. Now that Pegasus thought about it, a little poison of some sort might be good. Make him stronger, resist the poison. Then again, he didn't know if that was really necessary. He was only a bartender and musician now after all. It wasn't like someone was going to try to kill him to get his position on the ship or something. Mutinies were a real thing, but fortunately the only one he had really experienced was when the crew on his ship had decided the corrupt captain needed to go for selling illegal weapons. He had put them all at risk, and that mutiny was mostly common sense really. He chuckled when he heard Cyrus say that people were garbage.
[break][break]
"Oh what have we here? A cynic! Something's made you question humanity, but I won't ask what it was. There are indeed terrible people in the world. The recent riots, and the magi camps are proof of that. But not everyone is terrible. And everyone has darkness and light in them in different measures. Life is about to keeping it in balance." He smiled kindly. It was his own philosophy but he didn't mind sharing. Yes there were terrible people in the world. He'd been born in one such place, the camps. However, he'd been taken care of by other magi. He'd been adopted by another magi. He'd been cared for and raised in a crew that cared for him. He smirked slightly. Pegasus punched Cyrus in the shoulder gently and playfully.

"Stop letting yourself be jaded like an old man!" Pegasus grinned. They were both far too young for that. At least he assumed Cyrus was young. He looked about Pegasus's age. When the guy joked deadpan, and then asked what Pegasus thought people would be doing in the district he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Well, there's gambling. You don't quite look like the gambling type though. You here for the strippers?"

"Old man?" Damien echoed, raising his eyebrows, voice wobbling on a laugh. "Were you not just telling me about the balance of light and dark in life? You sound like a wizard who has a heroic quest to give out."
He was used to casual camaraderie with a new acquaintance, having come from the slums where shared struggles and culture bound even strangers together. It was unusual, however, to run into this sort of behavior outside of his typical haunts and part of Damien had its back up, wary of what exactly Pegasus's game was.
"Mn," he grunted. "No, not a gambler anymore." In his racing days he had bet on himself - and won of course - but that had been more of a sure thing than the mysteries of cards and casino games. "Sure, we'll say the strippers. There's a girl named Skye down at the Shaved Cat that'll blow your mind. What about you? Besides giving out curbside advice." |

Pegasus heard Cyrus speak about how he was a fine one to call him an old man and he couldn't help but laugh.
[break][break]
"Careful or I'll stand under a street light and pretend it's a quest marker. Give you a mission. Something like..." He scratched his chin in thought.
[break][break]
"Eh my mission would probably be something like delivering a letter or something. I'm a simple fellow that way." He grinned at the thought of giving out a quest. He heard the words about Cyrus not being a gambler anymore and Pegasus snapped his fingers in a 'shucks' motion.
[break][break]
"Here I was gonna challenge you to a game of cards. That might've even made a decent mission for ya." Of course, the guy didn't know Pegasus cheated whenever he could. He liked when people could figure out he was cheating. They earned bonus points with him for that because it meant they were observant and quick witted. He'd done it with his crew a lot. In fact, it was a test he performed when he was looking for new crew members. They always looked at him oddly when he asked them to play a game of cards with him. A lot of them had told him they just thought he was giving them an activity to do while he got to know them. He WAS getting to know them, but in a way they didn't expect. If they noticed he was cheating, then they were observant. If they spoke up about it, they were independent enough to be a good employee. On the other hand, if they didn't bring it to his attention for fear they wouldn't be hired, he didn't hire them. Pegasus wanted his crew to be unafraid of bringing important things to his attention, and someone cheating qualified. Whether it was cheating at cards, or skimming some off the top. Cheating in a simple game of cards was no big deal, but he didn't want someone skimming money off his profits, or using his crew for their own gain. The test ensured that. And because it worked, none of his current crew revealed the secret behind his hiring technique. Cyrus struck him as a similar kind of person. Someone who would point out if someone was cheating at cards. The thought made Pegasus smile. He heard the words the guy said about Skye the stripper and he laughed.
[break][break]
"I know Skye. She doesn't just blow peoples' minds. She's a professional escort who strips as a second job." Pegasus grinned. Sometimes he did pay for escorts. However, sometimes they were just very interesting to talk to. He had made a few friends like that, and they always had fascinating stories to tell.
[break][break]
"Very nice lady. Quite the spitfire too." Hmmmm how to answer what he was doing in the red light district.
[break][break]
"I come here fairly often. Sometimes I play in the casinos like this one, sometimes I visit the strip clubs or the bars. Depends what mood I'm in really. Either way I get some interesting conversation out of it most evenings I come here. Of course I'm not always hanging out here. I also work as a bartender and musical act sometimes."

Damien crossed his arms over his chest and raised an eyebrow. He doubted that any quest that Pegasus would give would be "simple." If anything, delivering a letter would probably involve becoming an unwitting drug mule. Not that Damien was too unfamiliar with that concept, but still. "Sure," he agreed. "Simple."
"What's your card game of choice?" Damien had become a regular loser at poker during his racing days, having spent more than his fair share of nights lost in the red light casinos. It was hard for him to contain his facial expressions so people tended to know exactly what hand he'd been dealt. He had a head for numbers, however, so counting cards during blackjack wasn't entirely out of his realm of expertise. He'd be caught a few times and quietly and firmly told to get the hell out. Absently, he wondered if he could still do it or if his wreck had taken that, too.
"Hm," he replied, straight faced at the news about Skye. He wondered if it was true or if Pegasus was just trying to shock him. Something about him screamed 'liar' at Damien. "Everybody's gotta have a side hustle. I repair motorcycles."
"Jack of all trades, master of some?" he asked, not surprised in the least that Pegasus was a musician. What was a lie besides a carefully constructed performance?

Pegasus heard the words of agreement about the quest he would come up with being simple, but it seemed like the guy didn't really expect him to do a simple mission. That was a surefire way to tell the guy didn't know Pegasus yet. The one constant in Pegasus's life had always been that he wanted to do the least work possible. If he could get away with a shortcut, he would totally take a shortcut. Except when it lessened the quality of something of course. He was careful to only have quality when it wasn't a ton more work. Pegasus heard Cyrus ask him what his game of choice was and the water magi smirked.
[break][break]
"Go Fish." He was a ship captain he just HAD to answer that way. It was priceless. To him, anyways. And his opinion of himself was the only one that truly mattered right? He chuckled slightly before thinking seriously and smiling to actually truly answer the question.
[break][break]
"Poker mostly. I've played Blackjack some, but the rules are more confusing." AKA it took actual genuine work to cheat at Blackjack. Pegasus could manage sleight of hand. It was something he'd practiced since he was a kid, not just for card games but also to get him out of some tough situations that could come up. It also helped him tell if a stripper was using sleight of hand to rob him of his wallet. That had still happened though. A couple times he hadn't even been able to tell. And then there was that one time when he just let her take his wallet...damn she'd been gorgeous. He heard Cyrus speak about how he fixed motorcycles and he grinned.
[break][break]
"Motorcycles are nice. Might have to hit you up if I ever get around to buying one like I plan. And...bartending's my job technically. I play at the same place. As for jack of all trades master of some, I'd like to think music's one of the ones I'm on my way to mastering. Still have to decide the next instrument I try. Maybe cello or violin. Or drums. I don't play an instrument in the percussion section yet..." He scratched his chin with a slight grin. He was quite proud of the fact he could play a few different instruments. And there was no need for him to mention he also owned a ship. It was a skill he had, but it was in his past. He didn't exactly know this guy anyways.
[break][break]
"Can't really sing along with harmonica so I think that's out." He chuckled after throwing the joke in. [attr="class","jawntatbtmdiv"]
